How to Create a Calendar Item in Outlook from an Inbox Email

The calendar is the best option for time specific actions vs. tasks that need to get done but have no specific deadline. The following steps show how to add an email message to your calendar.

Locate a message in your Inbox.

Drag and drop the message to the Calendar icon in the navigation pane.

Once the email has been dragged into the calendar, it will open the Calendar window, giving you the opportunity to set the start and end time and date, as well as decide whether this is an appointment or a meeting where you need to use the scheduling feature to invite others.
